disappearing from TV screens as they received zero bids for broadcasting rights.<\/p>\n<p>Officials confirmed on Tuesday, that French football&#x27;s TV presence is under threat as no one wants to pay the \u00a3693million annual fee to stream Ligue 1 and 2 games.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/general-view-parc-des-princes-242497227.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Professional Football League&#x27;s (LFP) longest-standing broadcast partner Canal Plus failed to make an offer for the 2024-29 cycle on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>This forced Ligue 1 to launch the bid on Tuesday without the French TV giants in the hope they can sell the Ligue 1 broadcast rights.<\/p>\n<p>Five bundles were on offer, including the two main bundles for the rights to broadcast games live.<\/p>\n<p>One bundle was worth \u00a3459million and included the two biggest matches of the game week plus the fourth-choice fixture.<\/p>\n<h2>READ MORE IN FOOTBALL<\/h2>\n<p><source media=\"(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5)\"

commercialisation process of the rights to Ligue 1 and postpones the call for candidates for Ligue 2.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The call for tenders for Ligue 2 rights, was initially scheduled for Thursday 19th and Friday 20th October.<\/p>\n<p>Canal Plus has shown top-flight football in France since the pay TV service launched in 1984.<\/p>\n<p>However, the broadcaster has been in conflict with the LFP since 2020 due to a potential record deal with Spanish company Mediapro.<\/p>\n<p>The bid process for the LFP also came at a stressful time in French football.<\/p>\n<p>As the recent departures of football icons Lionel Messi and Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain have hindered LFP&#x27;s chance of boosting the price for TV rights.<\/p>\n<p>And with uncertainty over Kylian Mbappe&#x27;s future in the French capital, Ligue 1 will most need to opt for a modest sum of money to seal a deal.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between Canal Plus and French football is similar to that between Sky Sports and the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, to the mega-rich Premier League, they sold their three-year cycle broadcast rights for more than \u00a310billion for the 2022-25 cycle.<\/p>\n<p><img
